GROWN FROM AN ANCIENT SEABED

Kimmeridgian soils

Soils rich in clay, with marl and fossilised marine sediments offer a different kind of mineral backbone, contributing power and ripeness to the wines. Jean Josselin’s Champagnes embody the best of the Côte des Bar: generous fruit, precision winemaking, and a true sense of place.
